I have been a ranger with the Council for 5 years, prior to that Council used to have plastic dog bags and dispensers and they were getting vandalised and bags were being wasted so Council stopped providing them. Then there was an increasing problem of dog faeces littering parks and public spaces so Council decided to provide the bags and dispensers again. They chose BioBag because it was an environmentally friendly option. There was some concern that the compostable bags are not strong enough.
After we rolled out the BioBags the complaints about dog faeces in off leash areas decreased… people were using the bags and picking up after their dogs. I would recommend BioBags for the environmental benefit of using the compostable bag and people are happy to use them and clean up after their dogs.
